We, as a team had an hour to record a short film about a young girl who was in rush to be somewhere without noticing she was being followed. However there was twist to the storyline. No editing was allowed, as it was an single handed camera task.
What i enjoyed about the project was, our group had used a range of shots within planning. For example;
POV shot - to show what direction the stalker was heading it and also to see who the victim was in fright.
SHOT REVERSE SHOT - to notice the facial expressions as actions speak louder than words.
CLOSE UP - showing the face down to the shoulders.
TILT - illustrating the movement, clothing and attitude of the actor. Along with;
MEDIUM CLOSE UP
LONG SHOT
EXTREME CLOSE UP
We were impressed with our video because there was no editing involved yet the pace and presentation of it made sense. Also the camera was quite steady as there was use of a tripod and the audio at the end was clear and understanding, The preparation of the project and the contribution in the task was satisfactory as each individual had an input and all ideas were taken into consideration. On the other hand the difficulties were trying to keep the camera in focus after setting certain shots, so throughout the whole video had not been vivid.
What would be done if i could edit the film;
- Re-record some scenes: reason being is to set the focus properly.
- Add dramatic classical music to add intensity and suspense.
- More add more shots to the film: example - high angle to make the victim more vulnerable and the predator more empowered.
- Better location as it was not suitable for the genre we had chosen.
